    The absurdist is concerned with the search for meaning in the Universe. He believes this search to be meaningless--hence the disintegration of plot, character, and language in absurdist drama. Order is a falsehood that we, God, those who came before us, have imposed on a random universe. However, the absurdist is confronted with a curious paradox: though he believes the Universe to be meaningless, he cannot abandon the search for meaning--or he will die. --------Walter Wykes
  14. Because you can have one without the other (though I do believe they complement each other) and information on both is vast so, more structure helps researchers.
  15. Romanticize would not be the proper term concerning me. I just choose to look deeper at a simpler more radical reality I always appreciate diverse historical information though and the obvious hard work you have put into acquiring it. I am absolutely amazed! You have not said a single thing here I disagree with. That does not happen for me often. I also would like to see a distinct section for martial arts.
  16. Since earliest times, human thought has been characterized by an awareness of man's close relationship with nature and a cyclical view of time and the universe.. Taoism, Hinduism and Buddhism all operate within this ancient worldview and incorporates many of its concepts. There has been sages/ adepts in all three ways without prior lineage. Of course, It is usually easier and better for most to learn from a teacher with credible lineage, but it is not impossible to discover it on your own.
  17. No, The way was here long before their was any lineage. It is (the name of) a way that has been laid down by many other faiths that used other names. Laying claim to the "best way" amounts to religiosity no matter how you cloak it. Some ways work better for some people than others. I hope that the new direction of this site starts eliminating certain types of competitive nonsense.
  18. "The biggest change I'm wanting is to merge Daoist Discussion and General Discussion, along with many of the subforums." May I suggest calling it "Growing Together".
  19. Go for it. You have my vote.
